A trademark objection is raised by the Trademark Examiner when an issue is found in a trademark application, such as similarity with an existing mark, lack of distinctiveness, or incorrect classification. It is not a rejection but a request for clarification or correction.
Yes, trademark objections are very common in India. A large percentage of trademark applications receive objections, especially for new startups and first-time applicants.
Common reasons include:
Similarity with an existing trademark
Descriptive or generic brand name
Incorrect trademark class
Improper use of symbols
Incomplete or incorrect documents
You must respond to a trademark objection within 30 days from the date of the examination report. Missing this deadline can lead to abandonment of the trademark application.
If no reply is filed within the stipulated time, the trademark application may be marked as abandoned, and you may have to reapply from scratch.
Yes. With a properly drafted and legally justified reply, most trademark objections can be resolved successfully. The response must clearly explain why the trademark should be accepted for registration.
Yes, trademark objection replies are filed online through the official trademark portal. Startupvisors handles the complete online objection reply process on your behalf.
While it is possible to reply on your own, professional assistance is strongly recommended. An incorrectly drafted reply can lead to rejection even if the trademark is otherwise valid.
After filing the objection reply, it can take a few weeks to several months for the Trademark Registry to review the response, depending on the complexity of the objection.
